Welcome - Please go through this entire page/site. Lots of valuable information!
There is much debate about US visa stamping in Mexico. Mexico IS STILL allowing TCN's to come down for stamping at any U.S. Consulate post in Mexico. Visas are still being issued to people who are eligible for them (RENEWALS ONLY). There are some changes though as to who is eligible for stamping in Mexico. I have located some information to help you understand if you are eligible. Please email me if you have any questions and I will do my best to help you. Please remember to seek legal advice whenever possible. Everything is going great down here! Please click on the Who Can Apply in Mexico link below.
Please disregard the following message:
New! Due to unexpected workload increases, MATAMOROS will only accept applications from residents of the state of Tamaulipas (except residents of Nuevo Laredo).
This message ONLY pertains to the Mexican Nationals living in Mexico who wish to apply for the U.S. visa. This DOES NOT pertain to TCN's who wish to renew the U.S. visa. TCN's are welcome to come down for stamping in Matamoros. Everything has been pretty smooth with the exception of a few overnight delays here and there. The purpose of this page is to inform you of the latest news and information regarding the U.S. visa stamping process in Matamoros.

Please contact me as soon as you get an appointment to get you on the list. I look forward to assisting you soon!
